| Abstract | ||
| The study addressed the economics of nuclear energy and its environmental impacts considering the state's responsibility, focusing on studying the Dabaa nuclear power plant project in Egypt. The study aimed to reveal the complex relationship between the significant economic benefits of using nuclear energy and the environmental repercussions that may result from it, in addition to the legal challenges associated with the responsibility of states to confront damages resulting from nuclear activities. The research also aimed to evaluate the economic repercussions of nuclear energy in Egypt and review the legal frameworks related to the state's responsibility for nuclear damages. Therefore, the researcher relied on the descriptive analytical approach to study the environmental and economic impacts of nuclear energy. A questionnaire was designed for a sample of workers at the Dabaa nuclear power plant to analyze the study's axes. The results showed that nuclear energy represents a clean and low-carbon source, and that the Dabaa plant contributes to achieving significant savings in energy production costs. International agreements also played a role in reducing nuclear experiments, but they face implementation challenges. The researcher recommended enhancing transparency in assessing the environmental impacts of nuclear plants and raising awareness of the importance of nuclear projects in sustainable development | ||
